Pu Chai Shi was still waiting for Yun Ming's clever plan, but at the critical moment, the latter's ADHD problem recurred when he fell into deep thinking. I could see Yun Ming clasping his fingers at one moment and pulling his hair at another. His monkey-like appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks made him very incompetent, and almost gave up hope for the bleak future.
Fortunately, Yun Ming returned to normal after dancing for a few minutes: "I actually forgot, we can definitely try the same trick again."
"Which skill are you talking about?" Pu Cheshi was confused.
"It's not the 'technique' of skill, but the 'trick' of strategy." Yun Ming fiddled with the wine cup again. This time he divided all the wine cups into three groups: large, medium and small according to the difference in quantity: "The imperial court has the greatest power, we are the weakest, and the Jianghu forces are caught in the middle."
"The previous plan was that we revealed the conspiracy about the divine treasure to the martial arts world, and then we joined forces to avoid death and seek survival. Now this plan still works. It is a foolish dream to ask the martial arts masters in Beijing to protect us for the rest of our lives, but it only takes two days Isn’t it difficult?”
Pu Cheshi calculated the time silently in his mind: "We have been in the Book of Self-Redemption for nearly fifteen hours today, and we have completed a quarter of the sixty-hour stay period agreed with Xiao Qi. As long as we delay It’s time to return at eight o’clock the day after tomorrow, and we’re playing cat and mouse with the court’s people in such a large space… The chances of winning sound pretty good.”
"That's right, it will be safer once we recruit a few more trustworthy and reliable warriors to serve as bodyguards." Yun Ming said as he pulled out two wine cups from the medium-sized group and shared them with a man next to him. The left ones are grouped together, forming a group of three.
"If we do this during the day, there will be no problem. But by this time, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have probably already taken action. The information about the Shenbao conspiracy in our hands is completely invalid. Why hire heroes to act as thugs? ?”
Pu Cheshi's mind didn't turn around for a moment, which led him to ask this rather stupid question. Yun Ming was silent for a few seconds and gave a natural answer: "Use money..."
"Yeah, I didn't react just now."
"You are hopeless with your occasional natural stupidity..."
Although these two people escaped from Pu Mansion in a hurry, they had no shortage of money. The Pu family is worthy of being the richest family in the capital in the setting. As the only son in the family, Pu Che Shi is extremely wealthy. He brings no less than three thousand taels of general silver notes that can be redeemed at major banks across the country. Coupled with the broken silver and copper plates thrown into the baggage, let's put it this way, the funds prepared by Pu Che Shi and Yun Ming were enough for them to travel all the way to the end of the world.
In terms of familiarity with the characters in the book, Pu Che Shi, who only briefly browsed through the Book of Self-Redemption, was definitely not as good as Yun Ming, who had a long conversation with the writer himself, so he immediately asked the latter another key question: "Which NPC are you planning to recruit? ?”
"This is not something I can decide," Yun Ming shook his head and said, "It depends on how many Jianghu people can break out of the capital tonight and happen to pass by Jitang Village."
…………
Just as Yun Ming and Pu Cha Shi, the two late Ming Jiang Taigong, were waiting for a willing martial arts master to take the bait, a hundred miles away in the capital, a large number of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang's hawks and dogs rushed towards Pu Mansion under the cover of night.

There are three big men leading this team. They are Yue Kuohai, the commander of Jinyiwei, Hao Yan, the father-in-law of Dongchang, and Kuai Tinglei, the master of the inner circle.
There is no need for me to write more about Yue Kuohai, so let me focus on introducing the latter two.
Let’s talk about factory manager Hao Yan first. Eunuch Hao is already over sixty years old. This age is already a rare longevity in ancient times. For warriors, it is a time when physiological factors such as physical fitness, instant reaction ability, etc. begin to decline irreversibly. Therefore, although Eunuch Hao's strength on paper is equal to that of Yue Kuohai, if the two really fight, there is no doubt that Yue Kuohai, who is in his prime, will have the upper hand.
In fact, the purpose of Dongchang sending Hao Yan to participate in this operation was not to expect him to personally kill many heroes. During this encirclement and suppression, Hao Yan only acted as a "supervisor of the army". He was nominally here to supervise the battle, but he was actually responsible for keeping an eye on the other two frontline commanders to prevent them from having any evil intentions.
Regarding Hao Yan's role in this battle, Yue Kuohai knew it, and Kuai Tinglei also knew it. Since it was not the turn of the somewhat slow and dim old eunuch to take action in the fight for a while, it was obvious that Kuai Tinglei, the master of the inner circle, was the one who came to help Zheng'erba.
Kuai Tinglei, who was thirty-eight years old and a native of Qingzhou, was good at making a pair of copper maces weighing about twenty kilograms. He was nicknamed "Sai Qinqiong". Think about it, everyone, can a person who uses this kind of weapon lose weight? To describe it in one sentence, when he and Yue Kuohai stood together, they looked like brothers from behind.
Although Kuai Tinglei has the nickname "Sai Qin Qiong", his strength is definitely not as good as Qin Shubao, at least not as good as Qin Shubao in the novels and novels. "Shuo Tang" records that Qin Qiong's weapon was a double gold-plated copper mace, each weighing sixty-five kilograms, weighing a total of one hundred and thirty kilograms. It was several times heavier than Kuai Tinglei's double mace, and it was basically equivalent to the weight of two maces in both hands. Grab the 20-liter mineral water plastic buckets provided with the three water dispensers. Of course, Kuai Tinglei can grab a bucket of this size with one hand and make it dance vigorously and submissively. He is not an ordinary person.
In fact, there should have been a master-level master participating in tonight's "Military Extermination" operation, and that was Deputy Ambassador Lin who had been killed by Yun Pu and his two men. Regarding Lin He's absence, Hao Yan and Kuai Tinglei didn't know why, but Yue Kuohai knew the inside story.
"According to what Zhuo Jing said, Lin He chased Pu Che Shi and Yun Ming out of the city a few hours ago. Why is it that after so long, he still hasn't come back, and there's not even any news."
Under the illumination of the lanterns and large piles of torches around him, Yue Kuohai's face was as dark as a cloud due to the flickering firelight. The closer the team marched to Pufu, the more anxious he became. disturbed.
Hao Yan beside him was very good at observing words and emotions. Eunuch Hao had long sensed that Mr. Yue was in a bad mood, but he only thought that he was worried about his actions for a while. "Master Yue, don't be so nervous. We have five hundred elites here, and the heads of the high-profile sects and their disciples living in Pufu only number two hundred. Let me tell you, this The comparison of the strength of Fan's troops is enough to show that today's matter will definitely be accomplished."
"What Eunuch Hao said is absolutely true." Yue Kuohai didn't bother to explain, and walked down the slope in a hurry: "It's Yue who is worried about gains and losses."
"Yeah." Hao Yan raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.

, but he didn't think deeply about why the Jinyiwei leader, who had always disliked each other with Dongchang, was so gentle and well-behaved.
Although Kuai Tinglei looks like a brash man, his character is rough but delicate. After hearing the conversation between Hao Yan and Yue Kuohai, he seemed to have guessed something, and secretly glanced at the two of them with his subtle peripheral vision, and then immediately withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.
The three of them just led the team towards Pufu with their own motives. It is worth mentioning that Eunuch Hao is indeed a bit late in his wisdom, but his words are not unreasonable. In addition to its superior military strength, the imperial court also had a good grasp of the enemy's intelligence and the traffic environment near Pufu. The entire residence where the Pufu is located is under the control of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang. It is so true that not even a bird can fly out or an ant can crawl in.
Tonight, using the mansion of the Pu family, the richest family in the capital, as the battlefield, Yue Kuohai and others are about to execute the last part of the "Sacred Treasure" plan - closing the net.
…………
Even before tonight, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang had planned many successful assassinations or ambushes in the capital, aiming to provoke infighting among the major rivers and lakes forces. Everyone in the rivers and lakes was in danger. This large-scale mass panic, perhaps mixed with complex emotions such as hatred, suspicion and secret joy, finally reached its peak on the fifth day of May, the day before the birth of the divine treasure.
The two major intelligence agencies have been working hard for the past few days. These days, the threshold of the Pu Mansion is almost crossed by people who come to visit in name but are actually seeking refuge.
The Pu family, a wealthy family fictionalized by Xiao Qi, has a very delicate status whether in the court or in the world. Logically speaking, if merchants in the past dynasties wanted to become big, they would inevitably have "someone above". However, the big tree above the Pu family is not a person, but the Jin Yiwei, a secret service organization. Of course, if you insist on speaking, His Majesty the Emperor is the thick leg of the Pu family, so he is naturally counted as an individual.
At the same time, the Pu family has a lot of contact with the martial arts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are half a prominent family in the martial arts. Let’s not talk about how many Jianghu people the second-generation ancestor of Pu Che Shi has made friends with. Let’s talk about the martial arts guards invited by the Pu Mansion and the security guards who work for the Pu family in various industries. These people are not all Jianghu people. Or maybe he was born in Green Forest.
Therefore, without knowing the background of Pu Mansion, it is reasonable for a large number of Jianghu people to regard it as a safe house. Feeling that they cannot protect themselves, they have temporarily defected to Mr. Pu like crucian carp crossing the river. That is to say, Mr. Pu, the car attendant, is not at home today, otherwise he would be the one to experience the "Mengchangjun"-style treatment.
In addition to the solitary martial arts cultivators, there are also many leaders of a sect who come to Pu Mansion as "guests" with all their disciples. In the entire capital, only the Pu family has so many rooms for them to stay.
Such a move... completely fell into the imperial court's plan, creating conditions for the latter's plan to "gather together and annihilate them".
However, despite Hao Yan's disdain for the more than 200 people temporarily living in Pufu, in fact they are a force that cannot be underestimated. Not to mention that all of these people are practitioners. Even if two hundred idle guys who don't know martial arts gather together, it will give the local officials a headache. What's more, there are several masters among them who are strong enough to compete with a hundred. .
At this moment, there are three top martial arts experts who are being treated as guests by the Pu Mansion, and their names have also appeared in the previous article. These three people are - "Flying Horse" Zou Yi, "Sword and Bow" Shen Huai, and "Xiling Poison King" Gongsun Xiao.
